Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

I currently have a 2005 Subaru Impreza. In the future I may have a Subaru Impreza STI (if I make the decision, or a Toyota Prius/ Camry Hybrid, if the wife chooses). If money was no object, I would get a Lotus Elise. If money was really no object, I'd have to go for an Aston Martin DB9.

My current garage includes -
2002 BMW 530i sport package
2000 Jaguar S-Type
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

the list of things I'd like to have in the future is too long . . . but includes upline BMW and Jaguar models like the 650i convertible, or an XK. Sadly, I don't have that much money, so will be driving the current inventory for some time.

1) 1992 Subaru SVX with 230,000 original miles
2) 1992 Subaru SVX with 460,000 original miles
3) 1992 Subaru SVX completely restored!

Lexus LS430 2005. Comfortable. Handling is surprisingly good for such big luxuary car. Interior appoiments are much nicer than its German counterparts. Reliablility is __Legendary__. Benz's extremely poor quality in recent years really puts me off. I won't touch MB until they rank top 5 in J.D.Power.

Ultimate car? I can't make up my mind. It kind of depends on the mood when it is good, BMW M3 or Porsche 911, when stressed out/tired, a Lexus or 7 series Bimmer.

Gunbei,

Sorry I missed your post. I'm seldom over in this section. In any case I did not keep the Webber carbs on the 3.0. When they were tuned properly on the 2.4 that thing hummed, but the mixture is easier to manage on the fuel injected 3.0 so I gave up the Webbers. If I ever go back to the triple barrel carb set up I'm getting the PMO carbs. These things are based on the Webber design, but with significant improvements, including easier tuning. Truly audiophile carbs compared to the Webbers.
